Example: Knowledge needs to be more relevant. We need much easier ways to add images and videos. Many people want more diverse content, and we need ways to make these easy to crowd-source. We need new projects devoted to this effort that work well.

Taken together, all the summary sentences should provide an accurate summary of what was discussed with the specific community.

Key Insight

The Western encyclopedia model is not serving the evolving needs of people who want to learn.

Knowledge sharing has become highly social across the globe.

Much of the world's knowledge is yet to be documented on our sites and it requires new ways to integrate and verify sources.

The discovery and sharing of trusted information have historically continued to evolve.

Trends in misinformation are increasing and may challenge the ability for Wikimedians to find trustworthy sources of knowledge.

Mobile will continue to grow. Products will evolve and use new technologies such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and virtual reality. These will change how we create, present, and distribute knowledge.

As the world population undergoes major shifts, the Wikimedia movement has an opportunity to help improve the knowledge available in more places and to more people.

Readers in seven of our most active countries have little understanding of how Wikipedia works, is structured, is funded, and how content is created.

Subject experts such as scholars, academics, journalists should be approached and they should be involved in the movement. Their expertise will be helpful to create, improve, or validate quality content.

Interface should be made more friendly (such as the Visual Editor) for newcomers and beginners. Internet is becoming more and more available these days. Any initiative to make Wikimedia projects more available and cost-effective will be helpful to bring new readers and editors.

If you have detailed notes in addition to the summary, you may add them here. For example, the notes may come from an in-person discussion or workshop. If your discussion happened on a wiki or other online space, you do not need to copy the detailed notes here.

Challenges of the strategy meeting

Challenge 1: How do our communities and content stay relevant in a changing world?

Challenge 2: How could we capture the sum of all knowledge when much of it cannot be verified in traditional ways?

Challenge 3: As Wikimedia looks toward 2030, how can we counteract the increasing levels of misinformation?

Subject experts such as scholars, academics, journalists should be approached and they should be involved in the movement. Their expertise will be helpful to create, improve, or validate quality content.

Very important undocumented cultural and other content can be documented by various mediums such as photography, documentaries etc.

Videos can be created to be used as citations

There should be focus on production of knowledge in regional languages
